Her story

How Mindy came back to aromatherapy for good.

I live in Upstate New York with my husband and twin daughters...the inspirations for many of S&W's products. I first learned about aromatherapy in the early 1990s while I was in esthetics school in Boston; it immediately caught my attention! Around 2005, I became interested in learning how to live a chemical/pesticide-free life and came back to aromatherapy.

I completed the Aromatherapy Certification Program in November 2008, the anatomy & physiologyon-line course & attended the Teacher Training in Sarasota in April, 2009; I am currently enrolled in Aromahead's Advanced Graduate Program.

My interests arenature & photography, herbs & essential oils, yoga, and my two little Sweeties!

What she’s building

Sweet & Woodsy Aromatherapy

Istarted Sweet & Woodsy Aromatherapy in November, 2008, when I completed Aromahead's Aromatherapy Certification Program. Sweet & Woodsy began asan essential oils business offering consultations andall- natural cleaning products. Almost 6 years later, I have added many unique products for people of all ages, including those for pregnancy, babies and children.

I teach classes on baby care, cleaning, andaromatherapy in general, as well as offering a service called "Make the Switch".

I have presented to Gilda's Club, the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester, and to the local chapter of the Holistic Moms Network.
